John from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in December of 2013, and the servicing came to us nearly ten years later. The ten-year service has been carried out every year since – 2023, 2024, 2025 and again this year, each a little earlier than the last. A machine now in its thirteenth year is well past the age at which most standby generators have been quietly forgotten, and the difference is entirely the record: nothing on it has gone longer than about a year without somebody opening the enclosure. An annual maintenance plan and an extended parts-and-labor warranty both sit behind it.

Standby generator questions from Hazlet homeowners
Which electrical code applies to a new installation?
Under the current New Jersey code cycle the Electrical Subcode adopts the 2023 National Electrical Code. Projects filed during a code-transition period are evaluated under the applicable transition provisions rather than assumed into the newer cycle.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Hazlet?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
Does the generator have to be bolted down?
Not every ground-level installation uses the same anchoring method. The requirement changes with the model, the pad type, wind exposure, flood requirements, elevated platforms and any local engineering requirement. The model manual and the site conditions decide it.
